[bootload]

"The only job experience I have with Haskell was in education technology, and part of that was focused on prototyping some things with Elm and PureScript for some boring business web tooling."

Elm is written in Haskell, and you can only build the latest Elm with a late Haskell install. Found this out the hard way trying to install Elm on debian/Raspberrypi. [0]

I ask, because I'm curious to see what applications haskell are used for. I see Haskell being used, but limited to specific roles. [1] One thing I have noticed is Haskell to build you require a low level tool chain, like C. HS also is a moving target. Latest development should be via Stack yet a lot of documentation and code relies on Cabal. This is a pain installing some things.

All I want to use Haskell is for building a new language. I could use the "C tool chain" and I will do this if I can't grok Haskell. But to tell you the truth the learning hump and pain is worth the advantages of the advanced compiler, types and the clean code.

Builds and implementation is a hurdle I'm looking at.
